Laura
shows us that last Saturday a lot more snow has fallen in her part of
the world, a strange idea because here (the Netherlands) spring is
everywhere. After some warm days last week almost everything is in
bloom.

Quite
a different challenge then we are used to; make a labyrinth and
tangle it. I found another one then Laura used on the internet and I
liked this one.

I
traced it, because drawing something like this was a bit to much
hassle.

Then
it became difficult, because 'what do you do with something like
this'?

First
I decided to fill the double 'string' with little stripes and then
that I did not want to tangle it all but just some parts so the
labyrinth itself should stay visible.

I
think that worked out quite well.

On
the web-log of Laura 'I am the diva' you can see what other tanglers
made of this challenge and, if you want (and why not?) upload your
own tile.

I
do appreciate you visiting my blog a lot and I hope you will leave me
a comment. I want to thank every one that left me a comment last
week. Those comments always brighten my day!

I
did not look at my entries from 2013 and 2014 on purpose, because I
did not want to
be
influenced by them. I'll do that later, because I am quite curious
what I made of the challenges then.

After
I had seen the challenge last Monday, I started by coloring some
paper
in (for me) earth tones. Because it had to dry, I could not go on for
a while and tonight I started tangling.I
started with a tree trunk and water drops, because for me they do
belong to the earth. I separated them by tangle 'Golven' (Dutch for
waves); I thought that was quite appropriate.

It
has become a very busy zendala, especially the trunk, and the ink was
running a bit on the colored paper. However I like this challenge!

Challenge 213 is different; make a string by tracing an object. I walked around in my house, looking for an object fitted for tracing, and stopped by the box with my jewelry in it. And yes, there I found a necklace that I had forgotten (some time ago it came with a blouse I bought) all about.

Here's a photo of the necklace on a tile that I colored before and wanted to use for this challenge:

Last week I bought 'das grosse zentangle buch' by Beate Winkler (what a great book to have) and in it I found Sharalarelli by Deborah Pacé, a tangle that is really appealing to me. So I started with this tangle in the big circle and the rest just followed. I finished by using an inktence color pencil and a Gelly Roll Metallic pen. Always a pity that the scan doesn't show that.

I think the end result is a bit busy, but I really enjoyed making this tile!!

So,
a new challenge after Easter days. Here in the Netherlands we were
able to sit outside in the sun and ... for the next couple of days
the weather is predicted to get better and better :-)

Laura
writes on her blog that Artoo is a lot better now. Great, now her
boys were able to play outside a bit and look for Easter eggs.

I's
time for the monthly UMT: Fanz by Susan Goetter. An easy and fun
tangle that I use a lot in many varieties.

I
took a tile I had colored before, maybe a bit dark, but I do like it
with some white accents. I started with Fanz in the left upper corner
and after that the other tangles 'just came by'. The Fanz in the
right bottom corner is the one I like best.

The
only one I didn't use is Well-Mooka-Z. I started with a tile that I
had colored before with inkspray and used a black pen. After tangling
I took pastel pencils and colored the egg and the ribbons some more.

I
don't know why, but Well keeps giving me problems; My hand just
doesn’t follow the direction I want it to.

On Adele's blog you can see how you can join this challenge. From
Monday's (Tuesday for us Europeans) all entries of the past week are
shown on her blog.

Thanks
for visiting my blog and if you want to leave a comment behind:
please do, I will learn from it!

About me

My name is Annemarie and I live in a small town in the centre of the Netherlands.

I got married in 2006 with Kees and have two grown children. Around 1994 I took a number of courses: mandala drawing, form drawing and drawing chakra's. Because I 'can not draw' I stopped after these courses. But ..... in the summer of 2011 a friend told me about Zentangle and since then I am totally hooked. Not being able to draw, and with this method being able to make beautiful zentangles and zia's!

My other hobbies are: reading, writing (poems), listening to music and PC games.
